Pardon Our Appearance While We Crash and Burn
In the Trump Administration’s best approximation of Friday Night Lights, the president (shudder) treated two of his main constituencies to a Shabbat treat.

The Trump Doctrine: Shoot Off Mouth, Then Foot
At this point, the main difference between President Trump’s (shudder) relationship with Kim Jong-un and Mitch McConnell is that Trump has asked only McConnell to resign.
